tv   Jimmy Kimmel Live  ABC  March 22, 2013 11:35pm-12:35am PDT

11:35 pm
>> jimmy: meanwhile, this is dirty, too. this comes from the local fox affiliate in milwaukee. they too were reporting on the snow. anchor lady annie state warmed things up with this. >> we're under a winter weather warning right now. here's a live look at the fox six snow stick. this is out on the weather dick -- deck. >> jimmy: yeah, i wonder why that word would pop into her head? never think of that phallic looking pvc pipe. here's one of my favorite stories in a while. a councilman from the city of washington, pennsylvania -- there's a city in pennsylvania called washington. the guy is named matt sta stanivzesky. the guy pulled a good one, he's testing the city's transit alert system. this is a system that sends
11:36 pm
important traffic updates to anyone who signs up for it. and somehow, he accidentally sent this e-mail to everyone in town. alert: this is a test. bryan is gay. so the city gaydar system -- but the best part is when he was confronted about it by the mayor, he claimed he meant his friend bryan was happy. which is a great excuse if you're in the fourth grade. [ laughter ] he even released a statement criticizing the mayor. he said it's offensive and unprofessional for the mayor to automatically assume one definition of the word when there are multiple definitions. [ laughter ] nice try. this guy sounds like a real dumbbell. and by that, i mean he sounds like someone you could use for strength training. not offensive. [ laughter ] a lot of people don't believe the councilman's excuse, and by a lot of people, i mean no one believes the councilman's excuse. i don't know why he doesn't just admit that it was a dopey mistake, but he won't. and his spokesman today didn't help things. >> the councilman works very
11:37 pm
hard to make sure his swepts are gay and to make sure they're gay with the job he's doing. so naturally he was very ungay to learn he had upset so many of his constituent. at this time, i'm gay to take any questions. you, the homosexual in front. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's a weird way to put things. in canadian college football -- did you know there is canadian college football? well, there is. there's a former wide receiver for acadia university, a guy named taylor renault. he's been posting workout videos on youtube in the hopes of getting signed by a professional team. this is one of those videos. the kid is doing a footwork drill with some help from a buddy who's a long snap foreign minister the edmonton eskimos. here's how that went.
11:38 pm
i feel like he deserved that. let's watch that again. i don't know what the point of this is, but judge bruno still gave him a nine for his cha-cha. in american football news, philadelphia eagles quarterback michael vick was spotted where some people would least expect to see him, at a petsmart in new jersey taking dog training classes. you work at a petsmart and michael vick walked in, you'd think you're on a hidden camera prank show, right? someone snapped this photo of michael with a trainer there. they blurred the trainer's face out. look at this. this is a picture from inside the class. not only do they blur the person's faces, they blurred the dog's face out, too. just in case he doesn't want to be associated with michael vick. apparently, michael vick is a third of the way through a six-week training course.
11:39 pm
should he be allowed to own another dog? maybe start him with a roomba to see how that goes first. when michael vick walks into a petsmart, all the dogs are like hey, maybe you'd like a cat this time. [ laughter ] clean themselves, really great. the tsa made an announcement yesterday that should affect all air travelers. starting april 25th, passengers will be allowed to carry small pocket knives, golf clubs, ski poles, pool cues, hockey sticks and whiffle ball bats on to airplanes for the first time since september 11. but a four-ounce bottle of finesse, still out of the question. i am so sick of having to check my whiffle bat. there's nothing i like better on a red eye flight than a good whiffle ball game. the tsa said they're trying to eliminate frequently confiscated objects from their banned items list that don't pose any real security threat. i'm not sure that a golf club
11:40 pm
doesn't pose a security threat. seems like tiger woods's ex-wife gave us some pretty strong evidence -- [ cheers and applause ] i still think the safest thing we can do is have ninja flight attendants, but nobody listens to me. if you're visiting washington, d.c. soon and you're hoping to take a tour of the white house, you might be disappointed. the white house announced that starting this weekend, they're cancelling all tours for the foreseeable future because of sequester-related budget cuts. which is really going to cut into joe biden's balloon animal business. he had a prime spot. get them right before the gift shop. apparently the budget cuts are forcing cutbacks to secret service, which means they don't have enough security to let people in. so i guess until the sequester is over, you will just have to imagine all the places where president clinton had sex. [ laughter ] lawmakers -- too soon or too late? too late? [ laughter ] in hawaii, they just passed something in hawaii called the steven tyler act.
11:41 pm
the steven tyler act is a sweeping piece of legislation that says you must wear a scarf from chicos at all time. [ laughter ] actually, it's designed to protect celebrities from paparazzi by making it illegal to take unwanted pictures or video of them in private to sell for profit. no offense, but isn't every photo of steven tyler an unwanted photo at this point? the bill is named after steven because he and his girlfriend were secretly photographed while they were on vacation in maui last year. but doesn't the steven tyler act sound like something we would create to protect ourselves from steven tyler? [ laughter ] one day those dream catcher earrings he wears are going to put somebody's eye out. at the vatican this week, the world's cardinals are meeting to prepare for the conclave that will choose the new pope. they say we could have a new pope sometime next week. the rumor is they already have a candidate selected and they're just waiting on the results of the urine test to come back. right now the favorite -- you can gamble on this stuff and there are betting -- there are lines.
11:42 pm
the favorite seems to be cardinal peter turksen from ghana. they have him at 11 to 4. the favorite after that is italian arch bishop angelo scola. his odds are 3 to 1. i try to imagine which one would look best air brushed on the side of a minivan. that's how i pick my pope. i was thinking about this. being pope is actually a pretty cool job. you get a big house, you get a butler, you get a car named after you. it's a lot like being batman. [ laughter ] some people are following this selection process very closely, but most people aren't following it at all. so we thought it would be fun to go out on to hollywood boulevard to ask people what they think of the new pope. keep in mind we do not have a new pope. so none of these people could possibly have anything to say about him. but as we have proven time and time again, when faced with a video camera, people are completely full of crap. so here is tonight's edition of lie witness news. >> what do you think about the new pope? >> the new pope, he's doing an
11:43 pm
awesome job. i think he's like somewhere in his like mid 70s. he's a really cool guy. i really would love to go to italy and meet him. >> what do you think about the new pope? >> he's a little awkward. >> why do you say that? >> i don't know, he just is. >> what do you think about the new pope? >> i think the new pope is amazing. he's from new york. i think it's great that he's our new pope and i think pope benedict xvi did a wonderful job as well. >> where were you when you found out about him? >> actually, i was on facebook. one of my church friends posted about it on facebook. >> did you see the interview with the pope's ex-wife? >> yeah. >> what did you think of that? >> she was hilarious. she was funny. >> does it bother you that he's jewish? >> i don't know, it's fine, i guess. because, you know, i don't think a pope should stay one religion.
11:44 pm
[ laughter ] >> why do you think they chose a teenage pope? >> i guess they want a new change, maybe have the teenagers to get into the religion as well, since now, like, preteens and teens are not into it. maybe a new trend they're doing. >> what's his name? >> pope -- the new pope? >> pope the new pope. >> yeah. >> anything you'd like to tell the new pope? >> well, i'd like to tell you you're doing an amazing job. i think you'll be great. and go you. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: we need to go us, too. when we come back, my cousin sal wreaks havoc working at a temp agency. jessica simpson is here. jim jefferies is here, and we have music from luke bryan. so come back. at turbotax,

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: what did you intend to say there? >> well, i guess i just told the world that i'm having a boy. >> jimmy: oh! i didn't even know what was happening!

name your baby maxwell. >> i did. >> jimmy: now there's a report that says you're going to name your baby ace. >> well, let's hope it's a boy. >> jimmy: well, maxwell could have been a girl or a boy. >> true. could ace be a girl? i think i just outed that i'm having a boy. i can't believe i did that. >> jimmy: does your family know you're having a boy? >> yes. >> jimmy: that's good. >> and all of my friends. i mean, it was kind of out and about in the press that i was having a boy. i was like how do people know these things? >> jimmy: yeah, how did people find out that you were going to name your daughter maxwell? >> i don't know. >> jimmy: do you do like an investigation within your community of friends? because there are only so many people you tell this to, right? >> and i don't ever think that a lot of the stuff that people say is malicious in any way. but maybe i have some friends with some big mouths, i don't know. >> jimmy: maybe one of your friends went to get something personal -- >> i don't think they're like calling up people. but maybe they tell their parents and their parents are talking about it at the grocery store. >> jimmy: you need new friends is what it is. your friends have loose lips. your best friend is pregnant also at this time. >> she is. casey is my bestest friend in the world and she is pregnant with me. >> jimmy: did you order her to get pregnant or how did that work?
12:03 am
[ laughter ] did you guys decide this would be a great thing if we were both pregnant together? >> well, it's definitely something that we would have loved to have happened because we want our babies to be best friends because we are. >> jimmy: of course. >> so now we're going to, like, force them to go to school together. force them to eat sandwiches together. >> jimmy: that never really works out, does it? >> hopefully it works out. i mean, we would be heartbroken. >> jimmy: i know. that's probably why it doesn't work out is because you put so much pressure on them to eat sandwiches together. [ laughter ] and they're like i don't want to eat sandwiches together. we want to eat sandwiches with other friends. maybe tell them never to speak to each other. that's probably the way to go. >> that's more alluring, though. >> jimmy: you're not married yet, right? >> i am not. >> jimmy: are you planning to get married soon? >> i keep planning on getting married but i keep getting knocked up, so -- [ laughter ] it's just one of those things. maybe i should go back to when i was younger, i was a virgin before i was married, so maybe i should just completely reverse and just stop having sex

12:21 am
they're all new, babies, right? i've got a 4-month-old baby. i was hoping to get a photo of my baby with jessica, and then maybe just running away. because i know she likes babies. she might keep it. you know i mean? i know it will have a better life with her. or just swapping it with one of her babies because i know that will be a better-looking baby. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: what is your baby's name? >> my baby's named hank. >> jimmy: you have a baby named hank? >> i thought moving to america, going to call it hank. real man's name. hank's a guy with big genitals who can fix things. >> jimmy: yeah. >> that's all you want to do in life, right? >> jimmy: your show is based on your life as an australian comedian who comes to los angeles and before you had the son. >> actually, my girlfriend was in the pilot and i knocked her up. so that was all based on that, yeah. it's based on me -- based on a friend of mine in australia who
12:22 am
still has muscular dystrophy and i took him to a brothel many years ago and we made that into a show. >> jimmy: you did? >> it was like his dying wish. he's not dead yet. every time i go back to australia i take him back. >> jimmy: what is his name? do you say? >> i don't say his name. his real name's dan. but we wanted to cast an actual person with muscular dystrophy. we wanted deejay qualls. he already looks disabled. there's very little effort put in to it. you just put him in a chair and off he goes. but we wanted to cast an actual disabled person, because i wanted it to seem authentic and give someone the opportunity of being in a sitcom that ordinarily wouldn't. so the union said -- the acting union said we can have someone
12:23 am
with muscular dystrophy, they only have to work two hours of day. they need to be massaged. so we decided we couldn't do that. so we opened our search out to anyone who looked too disabled to get themselves to a brothel by themselves. >> jimmy: okay. that was in the casting breakdown? >> we saw a big mix of people, jimmy. >> jimmy: how many people did you see? >> we saw about ten, but have you ever told a terminally ill person that they're not funny? it hurts your soul. >> jimmy: you can let them just leave. you pretend they were okay. >> so we had this one bloke coming in. i worked a little bit with disabled people before. he was the most disabled person i had ever seen. he was shaped like a pretzel. he was really disabled. and he was carried in by like this russian nurse. and she put him down. the russian nurse was a big woman, she looked really angry at me.

i was like i'm so sorry for bothering you. he read his lines, he knew every line. he was hysterical. and i helped him out and i come back in to the director. i say that's the guy we're casting, i don't care who else we see. that's the guy. the next bloke wheeled himself in. obviously he's a paraplegic. i know they can get themselves to brothels, but we figured if he's a good enough actor, he can act like a quadriplegic. it's half the job. so i shake his hand, right? and his leg slightly kicks out. i went whoa! what's going on there, kicky? and then he goes i'm not disabled. i just rented a wheelchair because i really wanted the role. a scumbag, right? so i kick him out of the room. >> jimmy: wow. >> so the next day, me and the director were looking at all the head shots of all the different actors we wanted to use. and he looks really like poised in his photo. i think this must be the fastest shutter on any camera ever.
12:25 am
and then i start reading his biography, right? and i know this guy! he's been in several movies. he's not disabled either! >> jimmy: really? >> i hated the other guy for renting a wheelchair. this guy rented a nurse. >> jimmy: you have to admire the effort, i will say. >> but you know these actors. you talk to these idiots all the time, right? getting into method days before. i'm all for method acting. but once the audition's over, stand up and go tada! but i'll tell you what you don't do. >> jimmy: what? >> don't make me carry you to your car. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that is a good tip to young actors.
12:26 am
>> i was very ticked off when i put him in the driver's seat. >> jimmy: is your family excited? are they aware of what's going on? >> my mother -- no. >> jimmy: do they know fx? >> i did an hbo special so many years ago, my mother went oh that's a shame, cable. because in australia, cable tv isn't like it is over here. it's just reruns of "friends." and then i get the fx thing, she goes is it cable again? i went yeah, yeah. and i said i'm on "jimmy kimmel" tonight, mom. she goes we don't get that in australia. we get some of the other ones. we don't get him. >> jimmy: so she is not what you might call enthusiastic. >> no, she thinks i'm nothing because i'm not on australian shows. >> jimmy: you should bring her over here and show her the set. >> i can't bring them over, my mother is morbidly obese. she can't get on a plane anymore. which is a blessing. [ laughter ] i'll tell you how fat my mother is, and this isn't a i'll tell you how fat my wife is joke. she just went on a luxury cruise and got deep vein thrombosis. if you don't know what that is, it's a condition you get from
12:27 am
sitting in economy for too long where the vessels in your legs clot up, your veins clot up and you die, right? so my mom's on a luxury cruise lying down all day, and she didn't move enough then on the boat and she gets deep vein thrombosis, and they move her into the hospital area thinking she's going to die. but that, that's when my dad's holiday starts, right? [ laughter ] he's kept himself fit and he's had a fat wife for years. he's like -- i'm on a boat! [ laughter ] he's out there getting hammered every night. and i think the pinnacle was my mom was touch and go for a while and my dad runs down to the infirmary wearing a sexiest man t-shirt because he came fourth in a competition by the pool. [ laughter ] he's in his '70s. they gave him the boobie prize. just picture my dad doing a little dance going sexiest man. how's your legs, no good? damn.

>> jimmy: these are very funny stories. you have to get a very fat mother in your show. >> this is the thing, we want -- in this season, my mother doesn't appear. but in the next season, if we get one, i would like to write my mother into the show, and my brothers have already been calling her up going oh, jim has already cast a morbidly obese woman to play you in the show. and my mom is going have you already cast a morbidly obese woman? and i said you're not even in this season. next season we will cast a morbidly obese season. >> jimmy: better keep that promise if you make it. >> find that chick from "what's eating gilbert grape." >> jimmy: i got a beautiful young lady right over there who could maybe help you out. is your mother mexican with a mustache?
